We use our air fryer for many things, we even reheat pizza in an air fryer! Air fryer pork tenderloin is a huge hit in my house. So it should come as no surprise that chicken legs in the air are absolutely fantastic.<\/p>\n<p>After learning how to make drumsticks in the air fryer, you may never go back to using the oven or frying pan!<\/p>\n<h3>How Do You Make Air Fryer Chicken Drumsticks?<\/h3>\n<p>Once you make these drumsticks a few times, you likely will not even need to back refer to the recipe, it\u2019s that easy. That said, please come back and grab a side dish and\u00a0 dessert to go with them! My Air Fryer Baked Potato recipe is a great side with this, as is my Air Fryer Potato Wedges recipe!<\/p>\n<h4>What You Will Need<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chicken Drumsticks:<\/strong>\u00a0Skin on drumsticks work best.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Olive Oil:<\/strong>\u00a0In a pinch you could use a canola or vegetable oil in it\u2019s place.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking Powder:<\/strong>\u00a0Baking powder helps the skin crisp up on the drumsticks. Make sure you are using baking powder, not baking soda. If you aren\u2019t sure what the difference is, read about it in my Baking Powder vs Baking Soda post.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seasonings:<\/strong>\u00a0Pepper, Garlic Powder, Salt and Paprika.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Steps To Take<\/h4>\n<p>Begin by tossing your chicken drumsticks in olive oil, then combine your baking powder and seasonings in a separate bowl.<\/p>\n<p>Next, toss the chicken legs with the baking powder and seasoning combo.<\/p>\n<p>Brush the drumsticks with the remaining olive oil. Finally, place into the air fryer to cook. Flip the drumsticks after ten minutes.<\/p>\n<h4>Tips For Making Air Fryer Chicken Drumsticks<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Do not overcrowd your air fryer.<\/strong>\u00a0Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may want to cook these in two batches of four drumsticks each.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make certain you use baking powder<\/strong>.
